James P. Daley is the presiding judge of the Rock County Circuit Court and also the chief judge of Wisconsin's 5th Judicial District. Daley was first appointed to the Rock County Circuit Court by Governor Tommy Thompson in 1989.[1][2] He ran for re-election to the Rock County Circuit Court in 2014 and won a new term that will expire in 2020.[3][4] Daley was appointed chief judge of the 5th Judicial District by the Wisconsin Supreme Court on June 28, 2013. He was appointed to another two-year term in 2015.[1][5]


Daley was defeated in a contentious election for the Wisconsin Supreme Court against incumbent Justice Ann Walsh Bradley in 2015.[6] Though judicial elections in Wisconsin are nonpartisan, politics impacted the race.[7] Daley is a conservative who took campaign funds directly from the Republican Party, a move criticized by his opponent. Bradley is considered a liberal, and Daley called her an "activist judge."[7][8]

The election was held on April 7, 2015.

Issues

Differences between opponents
Campaign ad from Daley's 2015 election Facebook page.

One of Daley's main campaign platforms centered on contrasting his judicial philosophy with that of Justice Bradley, whom he called a judicial activist. While on the campaign trail in Jefferson County, Daley said,

“ Justices are not legislators. An activist judge does not give deference to the constitutional authorities of the other branches of government. I believe that is the hallmark of the separation of powers. I may not agree with the policy decisions of the Legislature but it is a high bar for us to say it is unconstitutional what they do.[11] ”
—Judge James Daley, The Daily Union[8]

Daley also criticized Bradley for her decisions against "common-sense reforms" like Act 10, or the "Scott Walker Budget Repair Bill", and the voter ID law. Bradley said she was surprised by those comments because "it isn't the role of a justice to be supportive of anyone's agenda."[12]

Nonpartisan judicial elections

Despite judicial elections in Wisconsin being nonpartisan, Daley's campaign confirmed it accepted $7,000 in contributions from the Republican party to pay for campaign staff and consulting services. In response to questions about these funds, Daley said,

“ I appreciate the support from those that appreciate my respect for the rule of law.[11] ”
—Judge James Daley, Wisconsin Watch[13]

Daley also said that he would accept funds from the Democratic party, but it had not offered him any.

Bradley announced that her campaign would not accept contributions from political parties or attorneys and litigants with pending cases.[14] Her campaign finance disclosure form, however, listed several Democratic lawmakers and fundraisers as donors.[15]

Wisconsin Supreme Court Chief Justice Amendment

For 125 years, the position of chief justice on the Wisconsin Supreme Court has gone to the justice with the most experience, i.e., the longest-serving justice on the bench. Daley, however, said that the justices should decide who is their chief. Bradley said that Daley's position is political, and that the proposed amendment is an attempt to silence long-serving Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson. The Wisconsin Legislature passed the Wisconsin Supreme Court Chief Justice Amendment to the Wisconsin Constitution on January 20, 2015, that will allow the chief justice to be selected by the other justices on the court. The chief justice would serve for two years and would not be subject to term limits. The amendment was approved by voters in the April 7, 2015, election.[16]

Judicial recusals

Both candidates were asked by the Capital Times if they would recuse themselves from presiding over a case where litigants supported 501(c)(4) advocacy groups involved in judicial elections. A group of cases is headed to the Wisconsin Supreme Court where litigants Club for Growth and Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce spent a total of $8.3 million for ads in past judicial elections. Special prosecutor Francis Schmitz asked justices elected in those races to recuse themselves from proceedings.[17]

Bradley has recused herself from the cases because her son is a lawyer for one of the firms involved but has not spoken directly about the recusal issue.[18] Daley answered that he was hesitant to comment on what current justices should do. He said, however, that because a judicial candidate could not legally interact with donors during the campaign, he is not in favor of forcing recusals based on these facts.[17]

A 4-3 majority of the court rendered an opinion on the recusal matter in State of Wisconsin v. Henley on July 12, 2011. This opinion indicated that "determining whether to recuse is the sole responsibility of the individual justice for whom disqualification from participation is sought." The majority also concluded that "a majority of this court does not have the power to disqualify a judicial peer from performing the constitutional functions of a Wisconsin Supreme Court justice on a case-by-case basis."[19]

Abortion

On the issue of abortion, both candidates expressed support for the law but have different underlying perspectives. Daley said that, while he believes life begins at conception, Roe v. Wade is the law, and he would apply it fairly. Bradley said she does not consider herself to be either "pro-life" or "pro-choice." Instead, she said her job is to be pro-constitution. She also said she is "comfortable" with Roe v. Wade.[20]

Campaign ad from Daley's 2015 election Facebook page.
Mandatory retirement age for judges

In January 2015, Daley said he had no opinion on legislation that would create a mandatory retirement age for judges. If it passes, the age limit would be 75. In December 2014, however, Daley told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that he was not in favor of the legislation; rather, he would prefer to allow voters to decide if judges are competent for the bench. Bradley's statement on the issue expressed concern that the legislature could "undo the vote" of Wisconsin citizens and force judges already elected who may be past the mandatory retirement age, or nearly there, to leave the bench before their terms expire.[21]

If the legislation, suggested by Wisconsin Representative Dean Knudson, is submitted and passed, the age for mandatory retirement would be 75.[22] Representative Knudson has drafted a version of the bill and circulated it amongst his colleagues. He also said that he will submit his drafted bill during this session, but it is "not a priority."[22]

Justice Prosser ethics violation case

Daley would ask a neighboring state to take over an ethics case involving Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser. In 2011, Prosser allegedly physically attacked Bradley. The Wisconsin Judicial Committee filed an ethics violation complaint against Prosser in 2012 that must be heard by the Supreme Court. Several justices have recused themselves from hearing the case because Prosser is a colleague, and they witnessed the incident. Therefore, the case is stagnant. Daley has suggested asking Minnesota or another adjacent state to hear the case under the rule of necessity. It is normally applied to shift cases intra-state. Bradley expressed surprise that Daley would make the suggestion, claiming it is a "legal nonstarter."[23]

Bradley ad opposing Daley

On March 5, 2015, Bradley released a radio ad criticizing Daley's sentencing of a child abuser in 2014. Daley accepted a negotiated plea deal from that defendant with the state's urging. The negotiated sentence was one-year in jail, plus five years probation, in exchange for pleading guilty to the crime. The crime was beating unconscious his then-girlfriend's child with a hammer and kitchen utensils.

The ad itself featured audio from the Wisconsin-based radio show of Mark Belling. The portion used in the ad was Belling's "scorching criticism" of Daley's decision in the child abuse case and questioned if he was fit for the job of supreme court justice.[25][26]

Daley issued a response to the ad. He said that Bradley was using the case and its victim for political gain.[27] Daley defended his decision, saying it was made in difficult circumstances, and it achieved the court's goal of sentencing the criminal.[27]

Joint events

Daley and Bradley agreed to meet for three joint appearances and a debate in March 2015. The appearance dates were March 19, 24 and 25. The first event was a moderated forum held at the Milwaukee Bar Association. The Dane County Bar Association will host the second event. Finally, the last event will be a moderated forum held at the Dane County Rotary Club.[28] The two debated on television on March 27, 2015.[29]

March 27 (Wisconsin Public Television)

Bradley and Daley met for the election's only televised debate on March 27. The buzz words from the debate appeared to be partisan and activist, with Bradley again claiming that Daley brought partisan politics into a nonpartisan race and Daley alleging that Bradley is an extreme activist judge.[30] Those familiar with this campaign will not find the use of these words by these two candidates to be at all surprising.

Here are key quotes from the candidates' debate:

Bradley

“

This has never happened before in the state of Wisconsin to this degree that a political party would be inserted into a nonpartisan race. Political parties have agendas and we can't have courts with agendas because that undermines the public's trust in the people in our decisions. [11]

”
—Justice Ann Walsh Bradley (2015)[31]

Daley

“

I'm talking to people who are as I am concerned with the activist jurist that Justice Bradley is, bringing her own brand of liberal extreme political beliefs and special interest and placing it over the constitution, rule of law, impartiality, and even common sense. [11]

”
—Judge James Daley (2015)[31]
March 25 (Dane County Rotary)

At the event on March 25, 2015, Daley made several key assertions about Justice Bradley. First, he said she was soft on crime, favoring the rights of criminal defendants. Bradley rejected the assertion and said that she had wide support from law enforcement because her record showed her impartiality.[29] Daley also claimed that Bradley was a source of dysfunction on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. He said that Bradley was involved in every supreme court scandal in recent years. This was a change from an earlier statement made by Daley; in December 2014, he told a newspaper that he did not blame Bradley for the court's problems.[32][33]

The two also debated the proper role of a supreme court justice. Daley favored the view that justices must protect public safety and keep crime in check. Bradley, however, favored independence and rule of law. Bradley's statement about judicial independence linked back to her message that Daley's campaign was intertwined with the Republican Party.[29]

March 24 (Dane County Bar Association)

The event sponsored by the Dane County Bar Association found Daley and Bradley at odds once again over partisan influences in the election. Bradley said,

“ I have a vision for our court system where political parties are not having undue input on nonpartisan races. I need and want the votes of Republicans, Democrats, independents and everyone in between. But I strongly believe political parties should stay out of judicial races.[11] ”
—Justice Ann Walsh Bradley[34]

Daley responded by indicating that taking campaign contributions from the Republican Party did not mean he held all the same views as that party.

“ This campaign is not about a certain in-kind donation to my campaign. The claim has been that by accepting that donation I, of course, am saying that I am supporting everything the Republican Party of Wisconsin does. Not true.[11] ”
—Judge James Daley[35]

Bradley, meanwhile, said that this race was crucial to the future of the court. She said the result of the election would have a lasting impact on the court for decades to come.[35]

March 19 (Milwaukee Bar Association)

Urban Milwaukee said that Daley and Bradley blasted each other at the forum held on March 19, 2015. Daley called Bradley a judicial activist and said he would not legislate from the bench. Bradley criticized Daley's use of the term judicial activist, saying that it was a "cheap and easy" argument.[36] The approved Wisconsin Supreme Court Chief Justice Amendment, of which Bradley was not in favor, was also mentioned. She called it payback from conservatives for the more liberal-leaning justices, including current Wisconsin Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson. Other topics included: the "dysfunctional" state of the Wisconsin Supreme Court and campaign contributions from political parties in a nonpartisan judicial election.[36]

Legal issues for Daley's daughter

An outstanding warrant stemming from a driving while intoxicated charge brought Daley's eldest daughter Maureen into the spotlight. Court documents showed that she was considered a fugitive since leaving the state in 2008. Daley accused incumbent Ann Walsh Bradley of releasing the information on his daughter as part of her campaign strategy. He said this situation was a private matter and should not influence the election on April 7, 2015. Bradley's campaign declined to comment on the situation.

Noteworthy cases

Mother of victims unhappy with judge's sentence in child abuse case (2014)

Brandon Quinnpleadedguilty to one count of child abuse as part of a plea agreement negotiated with the state. In exchange, he received one year in jail, followed by five years of probation. The judge in the case, James Daley, accepted the plea deal. Quinn was accused of using a hammer and spatula to hit a 7-year-old boy and a 9-year-old girl. Quinn hit the little boy in the genital area with the spatula, causing him to bleed; doctors were unsure if there would be any permanent damage. Quinn made the girl take her underwear off so he could hit her skin. Both children told police that Quinn hit them with a hammer until they passed out. The children's mother was dating Quinn at the time and left the children in his care while she was at work. It was during this time that the abuse occurred. The mother said she was afraid of Quinn and delayed reporting the incident to police. She said the punishment Quinn received is a "complete failure of the justice system."[44]

In March 2015, this decision was at the heart of a campaign ad against Daley in his run for the Wisconsin Supreme Court. His opponent, Ann Walsh Bradley, questioned Daley's decision to accept the plea deal. Daley defended his decision, saying it was made amidst "challenging circumstances," and it achieved the court's goal of sentencing the criminal.[27]

Copper thief gets over two years in jail (2014)

A man who stole $1.8 million from his employer received a two-and-a-half year jail sentence from Judge James Daley. Steven Stoikes worked for contractor Butters-Fetting and, over a seven year period, would regularly order more copper tubing than necessary for jobs. He would then sell the extra, using the proceeds to gamble in a local casino. Judge Daley commented that he could not remember a larger theft-of-property case in Rock County in more than 30 years. Stoikes received gambling addiction counseling prior to the sentencing.

The girl, a runaway from Walworth County, slept with as many as five men each day for several weeks before she finally called her mother and got away from Cooper. The girl told police that Cooper threatened her if she did not go along with his plans.

Judge finds man not competent for trial (2013)

Daniel Bellard confessed to shooting his neighbor because he suspected she was trying to take his property. When police arrived to the scene, they found the victim, Christine Gestrich, dead in a barn and Bellard in another building with a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Judge James Daley ordered that Bellard undergo a mental evaluation to determine if he was competent to stand trial. Judge James Daley ruled on October 10, 2013, that Bellard was not competent to stand trial.

Two doctors reported to Judge Daley that self-inflicted gunshot wounds and advanced age prevented Bellard from "understand[ing] court proceedings and assist in his own defense."[45] Bellard attempted suicide twice in the months following the death of Gestrich. Both times he used the same shotgun with which he shot and killed the woman. Judge Daley sent Bellard for treatment at the Mendota Mental Health Institute, located in Madison, Wisconsin. The doctors told Judge Daley that it is unlikely Bellard would ever become competent for trial in the future.

Judge sends former school employee to jail for sexual assault (2009)

Though the teen and the school's IT guy never had intercourse, a judge accepted Jamie S. Dutcher's guilty plea to sexual assault. Dutcher, 32, began corresponding online with the teenager, a student at Milton High School, before asking her to meet at various locations around town. He touched her inappropriately and asked her to have sex, but she declined. Dutcher was arrested after police found the two in the backseat of Dutcher's car behind a hotel. Judge James Daley told Dutcher that he should suffer something because his victim was suffering. Daley gave Dutcher six months in jail followed by four years probation. The victim's mother said her daughter was suffering from depression, in part because she was gossiped about at school, causing her great distress.
